The displacement of my electric motor would be... zero; and maybe "normally-aspirated" can be stretched to mean "not-aspirated-at-all".

I don't mind being in an class where my car is uncompetitive (CST works for me, too). It is far more important that I preserve expensive and slippery stock tires (on stock wheels) for long trips; and eventually get extra camber to reduce sidewall wear.

I might get a NOS sticker to make my car more intimidating, too

Edit: asking SEB for clarification (#23449). Meanwhile, will probably be running the cheap Rikens on stock wheels in HS this coming weekend to get a baseline on how the car handles on stock form.

To specifically answer your question: Check out the cars on our http://www.solo2.com web site for photos. You'll see some of the many ways you can approach numbers. The rules say minimum 8" tall for the numbers and 4" tall for the class. You can order nice numbers online or from a local sign shop (just remember magnets won't stick to your plastic car!). That being said, many just print large as they can bold numbers and class indications on standard 8.5x11 paper and just tape the piece of paper on the car (either blue painter's tape, or electrician's vinyl tape if your car is waxed nice and the painter's tape doesn't stick well). You can do AS NOV on one line or stack them, just make sure it's easy to read.

Since you're new with us, there's no shame in just hacking some numbers on the car with tape (I do it all the time with 2" and 3/4" vinyl electrical tape). Not the sharpest looking solution, but it works just fine in a pinch. Take your time and make them readable is all that's really important. FYI: As you pull up into the line on competition days, you'll pass by the rear of the timing trailer. They will be the first to read your car numbers. They don't have to be perfect, but if they are easily legible the timing crew will appreciate it. From there the course workers will be calling in your cone counts (although we're not going to be hitting any of there are we?)....so again, clearly readable as you blaze by the course workers is appreciated. A clean contrasting color is best. Blue painter's tape won't be a good call on your blue car!

Either way, as long as they're readable, we won't kick you out of line if your numbers aren't flawless or you make a protocol mistake. That being said, a sharp set of numbers sets the "I came to race" tone!

Ugh, with you and Danny showing up in AS with nice numbers I'm going to have to step up my game!

In addition to 8" minimum for numbers and 4" for letters, the 8" number have to have an 1.5" stroke. Also, for me (timing) the preferred class letter pattern is NOV AS or NOVAS as that's the way it is in the computer. Indexed class (NOV) comes before regular class (AS). Therefore the hand written logs would match the printed audit sheet. Not a big deal, but it would make me happier!

new signup here. i'm essentially a newbie, i autocrossed for a couple of years up in San Francisco are back in the 1980's. i'll try to assume nothing! i've read over the basics and will do so again. i'm more interested in seat time and fun and improving myself, not interested at this time in competition, which is probably just as well --

its my casual rally car ("slow cars driven fast"). it's not all that fast but reasonably well balanced for being a totally oddity. the severe mods will surely put me in a Modified class where i won't be competitive, but i'm fine with that if you are. i'm ok with having a club officer or volunteer class my car for me.

This is our "catch all" class on Street Tires. Basically you have to use 200+ treadwear tires and the car is supposed to be able to be registered for street use. Other than that, pass Tech Inspection and you're good. The cars there are not vintage like yours, but you'll still have fun and be able to measure your improvement against a known group of participants.

CAM, possibly.

This is a national supplemental group of classes, intended to capture Classic American Muscle cars that are running in a couple non-SCCA programs such as the Optima and Pro Touring events. I think your car wouldn't be legal based on the weight, but if it's not a front runner there you can check with your fellow competitors and get their permission to run with them. I think your car will "look" like it fits in there. You can find the details at https://www.scca.com/downloads/39334-20 ... 0/download. That's a link from the SCCA's Solo Rules page here: https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules

Definitely come on out! Mike covered it in his reply. CST is the easy answer. However, as a classic car fan and CAM driver I'd love to see you running with us "old cars" in CAM-T. From your description the only issues is how far under minimum weight you are. However, with your tire choice I don't think anyone would mind if you ran with CAM-T. If you are on Facebook you could join the "SCCA Cal Club CAM Class (autocross)" group and ask the CAM-T people if they would object. Either way I hope to see you out there.

OK! thanks both Mike and Chad -- i'll show up and see what happens. i'll check out both scenes and see which is the best fit. this isn't a muscle car by any definition though! I'll look at the calendar and come out at the first opportunity. thanks a lot!

Tjennings, be sure to pre-register for our events at solo2.motorsportreg.com. If you don't have a MSR user ID, you'll need to set one up.

We've gone to a pre-reg / pay online process, where your card won't be charged until the event. I'd suggest following Chad's suggestion, checking out the Facebook group for the local CAM people, and see if they're okay with you running with them. (My guess is they'll be fine with it unless you come out and stomp them.)

If you have their tentative approval, sign up in CAM-T for Sunday. If you want to run in the practice on Saturday, you don't need to declare a class. Even if you don't run in it you may want to stop by, find a couple CAM people and get some rides. (Bring a helmet if you have one.)

Hello. I'm new to this forum and autocross. I pre-registered for the 14-15 Apr practice and Championship event, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I had a question about what vehicle class I should have selected during registration. I will be driving a 2018 Camaro SS 1LE.

On the '8 Easy Steps' page of Solo2.com website, it says to determine your vehicle's class first and that 'newcomers also run in the Novice class.' Do I select one or the other, or is there a way to indicate both Novice AND my vehicle's class (I was thinking CAM-C)?
